Title: Glass work on our project
Post by: rfrance0718 on Apr 05, 2023, 03:57 PM
We glassed the starboard side today. Looks like it went on well. I was just starting to set up when I left. We'll glass the other side next and We'll do some more fairing work on top of this,glass1s.jpg  and get her ready for paint.t

I believe that's going to turn out very nicely!

Thanks, we are hopeful. We aren't being very authentic with the glass covering, but the rest of it will be of the period. With the 88 year old planked construction and the round bilges, it would have been very difficult to close up the seams. We probably would have had to leave it the water to make it swell up, and that's not an option.

Each step is one step closer to done. Eager to see more!
